Amy Marietta5 things to know before visiting Antelope Canyon, Arizona
Nestled within the rugged landscapes of Arizona, Antelope Canyon emerges as a celestial masterpiece carved by the forces of nature. Its surreal, undulating sandstone walls, bathed in ethereal beams of sunlight, transport visitors to a realm seemingly beyond Earth. Antelope Canyon’s otherworldly beauty invites exploration into a geological wonder that transcends the ordinary, where sunlight dances on the sandstone canvases, creating an unparalleled and enchanting experience.
That said, I hope you experience this wondrous place and here are 5 important things to know before visiting Antelope Canyon.
1. You cannot go without a guide. you have to book a tour ahead of time because they book up weeks in advance – i recommend antelope canyon x tours because it’s less crowded, untouched, and the navajo guides are so knowledgeable and cool. Our guide Nick had iPhone tips and was also a really great photographer which was such a plus.
2. They say the best lighting for photos is from 10:30 am – 1 pm.
3. You cannot bring any bags unless they are clear.
4. The closest town to stay near here is Page, Arizona which is by Lake Powell so you can start your morning in antelope canyon, drive around Lake Powell, then end your day watching sunset at Horseshoe Bend.
5. You take a shuttle out so don’t worry about wearing “hiking gear” it’s an easy walk, but do make sure to pack a jacket because it’s about 10 degrees cooler in the canyon.
*** photo tip – put your settings to vivid warm and you won’t have to even edit the photos.
enjoy!
